Ali Lyrics

[Verse 2: Sho Baraka]
Ha, I'm like hold up can I dream?
Everybody's dreaming but not me

Imago Dei His masterpiece is so vivid
You know the architect homeboy we in the buildin'
No ceiling prayers tear the roof off
Talk to God via text you got a new call
Fans will exalt ya, haters wanna stone ya
Man will always fail ya keep ya eyes on Jehovah

I'm sayin' great I'm trying to push my brothers
Talented tenth, that service for the good of others
Some know a lot, say a lot with no application
Success' mistress is procrastination
Greatness is like Bach on the keys, Ali in the ring
Like King havin' a dream
Huh, it's like Mueller on his knees, Tolstoy with a pen
A Messiah without sin

[Hook 2: Ali (Sho Baraka)]
Hello faith, goodbye doubt
I met greatness on my way out

Never give up, never give up, never give up
Hello faith, goodbye doubt
I met greatness on my way out
Never give up, never give up, never give up
[Hook 1]

I'm tryin' to be great and I'm on my way
Way up, way up, way up
It's never too late, I know I'll be great
